JULY 25 Conspiracy Theory This offbeat romantic thriller stars Mel Gibson as a paranoid taxi driver obsessed with conspiracy theories who believes a government attorney (Julio Roberts) is the target of a deadly intrigue. She thinks he's a nut— until she learns that, this time, he's right. Patrick Stewart co-stars. Richard Donner (Gibson's "Lethal Weapon" series) directs; Brian Helgeland ("L.A. Confidential") scripts; action honchojoel Silver (another "Lethal Weapon" vet) produces. (Warner, 7/25) Exploitips: One can expect Roberts' 6/27 rom/com "My Best Friend's Wadding" (see this issue's cover story) to have refound her adoring audience, and Gibson seems to draw regardless of genre. This is star-ticket fare v^ith star-ticket competition— namely, Harrison Ford in "Air Force One." Advantage: "Conspiracy Theory. " It has two stars playing a male/female duo (to draw both genders], it's lighter fare (good for summer crowds) and Ford fans recently saw him in the similar-genre "the Devil's Own, " which fell off 50 percent on its second weekend. Air Force One Harrison Ford stars in this action thriller as the President of the United States, who has a strict policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists. When Russian neo-nationalists hijack the prez's plane, Air Force One, with the First Lady and his child onboard with him, the President is faced with a personal life-anddeath situation. Glenn Close ("Paradise Road") and Gary Oldman ("Murder in the First") co-star. Wolfgang Petersen ("In the Line of Fire") directs from an Andrew Marlowe script; Petersen produces with Armyan Bernstein ("Princess Caraboo"), Gail Katz and Jon Shestackfor Beacon. (Columbia, 7/25) Exploitips: "The Devil's Own" lost half its opening audience an weekend #2, but it did open to $18 million. And, unlike that film's foreign theme (the IRA), "AFO" is pure redwhite-&-blue in its storyline, and the central crisis—a family in peril— is one to which American audiences often respond. (Especially, as here, when the bad guy is all bad.) As long as Creg Norman doesn't make a cameo in it, "AFO" should have good legs. Box of Moonlight Proper, [punctual and precise electrical engineer Al Fountain ("Girl 6's" John Turturro) is in a mid-life crisis and revisits a childhood haunt only to encounter Kid (Sam Rockwell), a free-spirited eccentric who strikes a chord in Al that resonates through his life.
